Exploring for the Future: data release of whole-rock Re–Os from the South Nicholson region, Northern Territory and Queensland
The Exploring for the Future Program (EFTF) is a $100.5 million four year, federally funded initiative to better characterise the mineral, energy and groundwater potential of northern Australia. A key focus area of the initiative is the South Nicholson region, situated across the Northern Territory and Queensland border. The South Nicholson region is located between two highly prospective provinces, the greater McArthur Basin in the Northern Territory, the Lawn Hill Platform and the Mount Isa Province in Queensland–Northern Territory, which both have demonstrated hydrocarbon and base metal resources. In contrast, the South Nicholson region is not well understood geologically, is mostly undercover with limited well data, and prior to EFTF contained limited seismic coverage. Re–Os analyses in this study were undertaken to complement seismic data, U–Pb geochronology and geochemistry data to better understand the geological evolution and resource potential of the South Nicholson region.
Five organic carbon bearing sedimentary samples from drillholes BMR Ranken 1, NTGS00/1, DDH 83/1 and DDH 83/4 located across the South Nicholson region were analysed for whole rock Re–Os. The aim of the analyses was to better constrain the depositional age of basin units in the region, and to potentially provide insights into the timing of post-depositional processes such as fluid events and hydrocarbon generation and/or migration. Samples belong to the Mesoproterozoic South Nicholson Group, Paleoproterozoic Fickling and McNamara groups, and the Neoproterozoic to Devonian Georgina Basin. Samples were analysed at the University of Alberta, Canada.
